Review on Derwent Inktense Pencil Set, Assorted Color, 12-Tin: Vibrant Shades for Creative Artworks by Amber Perez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Non-permanent

I heard about these Derwent Intense pens in a quilting magazine. I was very excited to include some hand painted patterns in my quilts. After reading some negative reviews on Revain about color fading, I decided to just order a small box of 12 and give them a try. I was wondering if some of the reviewers use synthetic fabrics, which is not recommended. I photographed three test patterns. I used high thread count cotton which I also use to transfer photos. On one pattern I used a fixer which is used to prevent color fading, especially on some tie-dye fabrics. It didn't seem to mean much. I'm glad I read the previous reviews. I am very disappointed in the "lasting" quality and will probably not order again. That being said, they have beautiful colors and I look forward to using them on projects that cannot be erased.

Pros
  • Art & Craft Supplies
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
